SHIP NEWS. DOVER, JAN. 16.—The late strong gales having thrown up an immense Bar at the mouth of this Port, have rendered it impracticable tor any vessel to get out of the Harbour this day ; and under these circumstances, his Majesty's packets for both Ostend and Calais have been unable to put to sea. By accounts from Ramsgate, we learn, tl►at the Lord Duncan packet, with the mail for Calais - of the 13th inst., which sailed from this Port on Thursday Thursday last, at S A. as. experienced a very heavy gale of wind soon after being at sea, which she weathered, and arrived off Calais, but found it impossiide to have any commu nication with the shore ; a: 51 P. M. signals were made from Red Fort, &c. not to attempt the har bour, and it was not possible to have any other com:nunication with the shore, it was then blow ing hard, the packet was obliged to leave the coast, and knowing w.,s so much bar before Dover harbour, the• Commander judged best to run for Ramsgate harbour•, which f►e entered in safety early this mooning. We hear of nothing whatever coming from MILFORD HAVIM JAN. 14.—;-The Gower and Auckland packets were to have sailtd this day with the mails for Waterford, bin were prevented putting to sea by the sluing west erly wind, which has blown during lan , nicht ind to-day.

SINGULAR BARGAIN.—Mr. George Henzell, of Forest Hill, Peckham Rye, was returning from London on Thursday afternoon, about five o'clock, and met three boys, about 14 years of age, be tween the Lord Nelson and the bridge over the Surrey Canal. One of them asked him if he would buy. some ducks, as he had two Potpie to sell. lie asked the price of them. The boy said halt a-crown a couple (much less than their va lue). He said, that if they would carry the ducks to his house he would give them the price they asked for them. They carried them part of the way, when Mr. H. informed them that he lived as far as Peckham Rye. The eldest boy said, that if he would carry the ducks himself home he should have them for two shillings. Mr. H. suspected they were stolen, and asked the boys from whence they got them. The eldest boy replied that they were his mother's; that she lived at Dulwich, and bred ducks, and that she had sent them to sell them in the Borough for what they could get, Whe ther Mr. H. credited their story or not, is not known ; he, however, paid 2s. for a couple at the ducks, carried them home, and boasted of his excellent bargain. Upon his wife looking at them, she said, " I am sure this is one of our ducks," and upon going to the duck pen, he found that a couple of ducks had been stolen ; and also the pun of Mr. Field, his next door neighbour, had been robbed ore couple; so that he actually purchased one of his own, and one of Mr. Field's ducks, and the youngsters escaped with the other two. P OETRY. THE FORTUNATE YOUTH. .thedaces Fortuna Juvat. " Have you heard of this youth ?" said the Duchess of C. To her friend Lady D., sitting over their tea. " Oh yes, and the story seems wondrous strange, " The youth must go mad at so sudden a change." " W e must have him among us," the Duchess replied ; " You are joking," (the other immediately cried) ; " A man. that's .4rougbt up, Heaven only knows where, " Will prove but a weed in gay Fashion's parterre." " Very true, hut he's rich, and to riches, my friend, " You've lived long enough to know fashion must bend; " Besides he'll improve, if we take hint in hand, " And his riches., and us, who will ever withstand?" The dispute would most likely have lasted much longer, As each thought. her side the question the stronger; But otre of the Peerage most luckily came, And smiles e-appeared as they gave in his name. • " What a lucky young man," says Lord to her Grace, " Half the world must be longing to be in his place!" " If it's true," says the Duchess; " but we so often meet " In this best of all possible'worlds, much deceit." My Lord then replied, " Oh ! I'll vouch for the truth " Of all that relates to the Fortunate Youth ; " I must seek for his votes, for between you and I, '" Of course he 's a good many Boroughs to buy; " And then I'll protect him, (most excellent plan) " And get him a Peerage as fast as I can !" While these schemes were in embryo, the world was deceived, And all were astonished how soon they believed— But the Bankers (we surely have dreamt it, not read it) Were the first in the world to his tale to give credit; • And their trust was so great, as some people recount, That the credit might rise up to any amount. At last our eyes opened, our spirits were damped, For we found ourselves duped, and the Youth had decamped.' CAPE TOWN, OcT. 25. The following most interesting and important Extract of a Letter from Mr. Walker, command ing his Majesty's ship the Dispatch, has been transmitted to his Excellency the Governor, by Commissioner Sir Jableel Bt:enton. It will be highly gratifying to the Colonists, to see the fa. vouralde result of the endeavours to open the Knysna as a harbour, and it will be equally ac ceptible to all nautical men to know, that there is a safe and commodious port upon the east coast of this settletnent I hasten to inform yon, that I arrived off the month of the Knysna, early this morning, with light variable winds from the N.E. quarter, and a heavy swell from the S.W. which prevented my examining the entrance. At ten, a strong S.E. wind set in, but the tide not answering till three in the afternoon, we were obliged to wait the flow. About two, the wind inclined to veer more to the'eastward, and I cicemed it most prudent to attempt the bar under a press of sail, an(' it being then dead low water, we ran in with great faci lity, although the sea was breaking all over the entrance." The letters from the Cape state, that the Eng lish merebantinan, the Elizabeth, which, bad been taken to sea by deserters from the 60th Regi ment, and by convicts, on the Ilth November, was supposed to have entirely escaped. She was pursued by a sloop and a brig, but as . f.he pro ceeded to sea in the night of the 11th, and the others did not leave the anchorage till a late hour of the following day, little chance of capture was entertained. The principal in arranging this seizure was reported to be a young man who had committed forgery at the Cape, and had been ba nished to Robin Island (the Botany Bay of the Cape) where the vessel was seized. • . . We are sorry to find that both the papers from the Cape, and the private letters, confirm the ac counts already received,. that the Dutch had com mitted great excesses in theii• restored Colonies.— The immediate cause of the revolt at Saporana was, that the Dutch Resident had ordered a woman to he flogged naked in the bazaar. The murder of the natives (prisoners) at Java is also mentioned, CONNAUGHT PLACE.—The skeleton of the mag nificent edifice erected some years since at Bays water, adjoining Connaught-place, which was intended to be finished fur the Duke of GLou casrEa, has given some indications of pre mature decay. His Royal Highness entered into a contract with the builder, which was vio lated by the latter introducing timber called the American pine, which is a wood of a very perish able nature. The Duke soon after met with Lord CHOLMONDELEY, and . bought the house he now resides in. The elevation of the above is con siderable, and commands the most diversified pros pects.. Connaught-place is rising into estimation daily, in consequence of a tunnel having been formed across-Hyde Pat k .to Knightsbridge, which carries off the great body of water which would frequently rush from the high lands, and over whelm the district. The Earl of CARLISLE gave 150 cart loads of coals to the indigent poor of Brampton, in Cum berland, la,t week ; they also received 10 bushels of oatmeal from the Rev. Mr. ItAI4SUAW. Early on Friday morning the house of Mr. Henry Osborn, at Small Heath, was entered by some depredators, who succeeded in carrying off a quantity of plate, money, &e.—They gained aft mission by cutting out one of the panes of the front sitting-room window, and• with a crow, forcing the inside shutters. Mr. Osborn being disturbed, immediately alarmed his servants, and perceiving a light from the sitting-room, they attempted to enter it, but found the door fast ened on the inside. Upon Mr. Osborn's open ing the front door, the thieves precipitately de camped by jumping through the window by which they entered ; and such was the haste in which their escape was effected, that two hats were found in the carriage sweep, in one of which were a pair of gloves and a pistol belonging to the de predators. Several silver spoons, knives, forks, &c. were also found in the path fromstbe house to the outer gate.—(Birmingham Chronicle, Jan, 15d LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANG - I:MY, JAN: I s. Ex- - parte the BANK of ENGLAND in the Matter of ST EPHE N This was an application by Sir ARTHUR PIGOTT, in behalf of the Governor• and Company of the Bank of England, on. an amended petition, for an order of the Court to the Commissioners to admit Mr. John Sparks Cox to vote in the choice of assignees in the affair of Stephens 'a bankrupt. The sante application had been •made on a pre vious. petition, but was refused by the Court, on the ground that a special and not a general pots, r of attorney Should have been given by the Con— 'piny to their clerk, Mr. Cox, to justify the Con . wissioners in ado►itting him as agent for the Com pany to vote in the choice of Assignees Jr) con formity with that principle laid down by th, , Court, the Governor awl Company had attended their petition, having previously made that instrument special, which wa: before general, in their deput ing Mr. Cox to act for thew in the appointment of assignees. To the application thus made on the amended petition by Sir Arthur Pigott, Mr. MONTAGUE, who was Counsel for the petitioning creditor, had no objection. _ The - LORD CHANCELLOR Said he could not, as the case stood, make a general order, but ,that a declaration by recital might be made which would answer the object el the peition. • . . .• To this Sir ARTHUR PIGoTT assented, and the declaration by way of recital was ordered. VICE CHANCELLOR'S CVURT, JAN. 16. His Honour the VICE:CHANCELLOR has made a most important regulation respecting the Suitors in this Court, and' one that will in no inconsider able-degree expedite' the business, as well as act impartially by all. it is as folio : That the hst of Causes set down for hearing each day shall be call• ed over in regular order, beginning with the first in the paper for the day ; if the parties are not ready to proceed with it, the Court will proceed on to the next, and.so on till they come to one that is ready, when all those that have been previously called on will he placed at the bottom of the list. ShOuld the cause about to be argued oc cupy the whole day, then those placed at the bot tom will come on in regular order ; but should the Court a second time call on them, and they prove to be unprepared, then they are to be struck out of the list. 11;s honour proceeded on this principle yesterday, and out of the twelve Demurrers set down for hearing, five were struck out COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAN, 10. THE METROPOLITAN BAZAAR IdIST V. RAWLINS. This was an action by the plaintiff to recover front the defendant, as representative of the Eagle Fire Insurance Company, a sum of 30001. as a compensation for losses sustained by the plaintiff in the destruction of his house and property by fire, insured with the said Company. The trial occupied the whole day. Mr. TOPPING, in stating the case for the plain• tiff, said he had followed business as an eminent dealer in china, glass, and earthernware, in Fleet. street, the corner of Salisbury-court, London, and had been many years an insurer at the defen• (lanes office ; toed he directed his observations to the reprehensible. conduct of this Company in seeking to evade the just claims of the plaintiff in compensation for his ruinous damages tinder the policy of this Company ;. who, instead of per forming the conditions of their insurance, sought to evade that performance by a plea in their de claration in answer to this action, in which they not only charged on the plaintiff a fraudulent at tempt to demand compensation for losses he never sustained—for they denied that he had any pro perty or interest whatsoever in the premises, or the goods thereon, at the time the fire in question had occured, but they also attempted to support their refusal ,of payment upon the , further plea that the plaintiff had, in order to . found his claim, actually set fire to the premises with his own hand, and thereby bad the hardihood to risque the loss of his own lite by an ignominious punishment in order to obtain a sum ,of money front the de fendants, and this too 'at a time when he was ac tually in treaty with a respectable company tosell his property and premises for a larger sum of mo ney than the amount of his insurance. His client, it was true, was a spirited adventirrer in trade, and, like many respectable men of like de scription, had become a bankrupt through the excessive %.icissittides of the times ; but his credi tors, satisfied of his honour and integrity, after a full investigation of his affairs, had allowed him a composition, and the statute of bankruptcy was superseded. He had afterwards . , at a considera ble expellee, fitted up his house and premises into that splendid emporium of commerce, called The Metropolitan Bazaar, which unfortunately failed to answer his extuctations, and was finally closed in the beginning of the year 1816. In the 51 4 , following, the premises and all the property there in were consumed by accidental fire, and the de :lendants, in order to elude their just payment of his claims, seemed to have taken advantage of his Misfortunes, and, as they thought, defenceless situation ; and to screen themselves by an endea vour to cast the foulest infamy on his character, .and to involve him in the guilt Of a capital felons:. .'Die evidence be should adduce, however, w,aald not only scout this foul stigma from theoptita. lion of his client, but fully entitle biTh . AO a ver dict from the Jury. A great nomber of witnessea were examined, to prove that the premises indtherroperty thereon, at the time of the fire,,opeetled in value the amount of tire eum insured, and claimed by this action ; and amongst thetest, a Mr. Davenport, a partner in a respectable house in Staffordshire, and formerly a creditor of the plaintiff previous to his bankruptcy, proved, that be was in treaty with the plaintiff very shortly previous to the fire, to purchase his premises and stock on band, and had agreed to pay for them, as a great bargain, 25001. ; although be considered the expensive fixtures, though costing the plaintiff above 100/, of no value to him, andaltbough the house wa; burnt down, yet there was an expectation of pro_ curing a renewal of the lease for 14 years i and
